Lin Yu: "..."
This worked too?!
Back in the Frieren World, Lin Yu was utterly speechless. He had never expected things to unfold like this.
Indeed, if he destroyed the world and was the only one left, didn't that count as unifying the world and dominating Huanyu?!
However, the World Consciousness had clearly determined that he was cheating, yet he had still passed the trial successfully. It seemed the requirements for passing the Admin Trial were quite flexible...
Thinking of this, Lin Yu could not help sighing inwardly.
The moment he stepped slightly out of line, the World Consciousness began accusing him of cheating. But when he completely flipped the table and wiped out the rules, order, and the entire world in one go, it instead acknowledged his achievement.
Sure enough, prejudice in people's hearts was like a mountain. Lin Yu had proven through practical action that as long as you were strong enough, even tens of thousands of mountains could be smashed with ease!
"...So this is the Chat Group's Admin Trial?"
"Reincarnating as Ying Zheng and then dominating the world—what exactly is this trial testing?"
Lin Yu could not figure it out. He had skipped too many steps and could not experience the purpose of the trial at all.
After giving it some thought, he shook his head and decided to stop dwelling on the question. Instead, he opened the chat window.
Sure enough, the news that he had become an administrator had already been announced in the group.
The three group members immediately exploded with excitement, expressing both amazement and congratulations as they flooded the chat window.
[Su Haoming: As expected of Brother Lin!] [Su Haoming: You became an administrator so quickly!] [Lin Yu: Honestly, I didn't expect it either...] [Su Haoming: !!!] [Su Haoming: The great administrator has appeared!] [Su Haoming: Congratulations, congratulations!] [Fan Xian: Congratulations, congratulations!] [Yun Ye: Congratulations, congratulations!] [Yun Ye: Brother Lin, could you tell us about the requirements for becoming an administrator?] [Lin Yu: No problem.] [Lin Yu: After completing the phase mission, the Chat Group informed me that my contribution value had met the requirement and asked whether I wanted to undergo the Admin Trial.] [Fan Xian: There was actually a trial too...] [Fan Xian: You can become an administrator after passing it?] [Lin Yu: That's right.] [Su Haoming: Then you moved way too fast!] [Yun Ye: I think there should be something like a difference in the flow of time.] [Lin Yu: Emmm...] [Yun Ye: Got it. There wasn't—it was just a speedrun!] [Lin Yu: Honestly, I'm not too sure either.] [Lin Yu: Logically speaking, there should have been one, otherwise I wouldn't have turned into a baby.] [Lin Yu: It's just that I cleared it too quickly, so I didn't feel any particularly obvious difference...] [All Group Members: ...] [Fan Xian: What do you mean, reincarnating as a baby?] [Yun Ye: You can speedrun even after reincarnating as a baby?!] [Su Haoming: Brother Lin, why am I having trouble understanding this?!]
Lin Yu smiled and briefly told them about the process of his trial.
After hearing it, the three group members all fell silent. It was only after a long while that they finally sent question marks.
[Su Haoming: You reincarnated as Ying Zheng, destroyed the world, and then passed the trial?] [Fan Xian: What kind of trial is that? What exactly is the Chat Group testing?] [Yun Ye: I think it might be testing Brother Lin's choices and inclinations...] [Su Haoming: What do you mean?] [Yun Ye: Don't administrators have higher authority? In a sense, Brother Lin's performance during the trial represents the things he might do after becoming an administrator.] [Su Haoming: Are you saying Brother Lin will destroy us?] [Yun Ye: That's not what I mean!] [Yun Ye: Scroll up and look for yourself. Is Brother Lin's method of passing even remotely representative?] [Su Haoming: This... really isn't.] [Yun Ye: What I mean is, perhaps the purpose of the trial is to test a member's inclinations. There may be more than one way to pass. The strong ruling the weak is one direction, while the strong guiding the weak is another.] [Su Haoming: If different directions can all pass, then what's the point of this trial?] [Yun Ye: You'll have to ask the Chat Group about that. I'm only sharing my guess...]
The three group members began discussing the Admin Trial.
Lin Yu watched for a while before sending a message. "You guys keep talking. I'll take a look at what changes the Chat Group has undergone."
After saying that, he immediately opened [Group Files] and first checked the activity requirement for the next phase.
[Activity: 2400 (10173/20000)] [Contribution Value: 23841 (25774/10000)]
Not bad. It had merely doubled. At a rate of four hundred points per day, he could reach the target in less than a month.
Lin Yu looked down and noticed that the uploaded files now had a delete option beside them. It was probably an administrator-exclusive deletion privilege.
It was somewhat useful, but not particularly so...
Lin Yu shook his head and continued checking the other changes.
On the [Group Mall] interface, the administrator-exclusive [Realm-Breaking Talisman] had finally been unlocked. The shop had also finally received new items, adding intermediate versions of the Cross-border Invitation Letter and the Realm-Breaking Talisman.
Both intermediate versions extended the stay time by three times, but their prices only doubled, costing 200 Points and 2,000 Points respectively.
In addition, an option to list items for sale had appeared in the bottom-right corner of the [Group Mall].
All items listed by group members would appear in a new list, clearly separated from the official products.
So far, there was only one item in the new list: a Stone Lion listed by Yun Ye, with the astronomical price of 9,999 Points.
"...Are you running a scam?"
Lin Yu was speechless. He then casually took out a Spirit Stone and tried listing it. Sure enough, the Spirit Stone vanished from his hand and appeared on the new list.
Without hesitation, Lin Yu immediately bought the Spirit Stone he had priced at one hundred Points.
In an instant, silver light flashed. The vanished Spirit Stone returned to his hand, and the Points spent to purchase it also returned to his account, though the amount seemed to be slightly less.
"Only ninety-nine Points? So there's a one-percent handling fee..."
Lin Yu immediately frowned.
The [Group Red Packet] unlocked today could also transport items across worlds, and it did not even charge a handling fee.
Compared to that, this listing function seemed rather pointless...
After some thought, Lin Yu discussed it with the three group members.
The group members immediately stopped their discussion and replied one after another:
[Su Haoming: Brother Lin, you didn't scroll up through the chat history, did you?] [Su Haoming: We already tested it before the administrator announcement appeared.] [Su Haoming: Group Red Packets have a volume limit. Anything even slightly larger basically can't fit inside one.] [Lin Yu: You mean the Group Mall doesn't have that restriction?] [Fan Xian: That's right!] [Fan Xian: Like Brother Yun's Stone Lion—it can't fit into a red packet, but it can be listed in the mall.] [Lin Yu: I see. I was wondering why you listed a Stone Lion and priced it at 9,999.] [Lin Yu: At such a high price, neither of those two can afford it. You weren't targeting me, were you?] [Yun Ye: Hehe, I was only testing it. Brother Lin, don't let your hand slip!] [Su Haoming: Old Yun, don't blame me for not warning you. Brother Lin is an administrator now. If his hand slips, you're finished!] [Yun Ye: ...] [Yun Ye: He can't kick people, can he?]
Lin Yu tapped Yun Ye's name to take a look, then replied, "Not quite."
[Yun Ye: [Sigh of Relief]] [Lin Yu: He can only mute group members and initiate a Kick Vote...] [Yun Ye: [Terror]] [Yun Ye: I'm taking it down right now!]
Seeing this, Lin Yu smiled faintly and continued examining his other privileges.
Aside from muting members and initiating Kick Votes, he was surprised to discover a plus sign in the upper-right corner of the member list!
"Is this the option to invite new group members?"
Lin Yu's heart stirred, and he immediately tapped the plus sign.
In an instant, a brand-new interface appeared before him.
[Invite Progress: 27/30] [Reserve Slots: 1] [View Reserve Member List]
